It’s Time To Get the Prosecutor’s Office On Track

The next prosecutor must be ready to lead from day one and experience matters.

I have over 27 years of experience as a prosecutor, defense attorney, county civil counsel. I know how to lead a public law office. As the leader of the Whatcom County Conflict Office, I manage attorneys and staff, oversee cases and make decisions that keep the office moving forward efficiently.

My priorities are straightforward: protect the entire public by holding violent offenders, repeat offenders, and drug dealers accountable; move cases forward so victims are not left waiting, and strengthen the office through training, mentorship and steady leadership. In addition, we need to provide better opportunities for those suffering from mental health issues and addiction.

Every person deserves safety and equal protection. As prosecutor, I will stand up for victims and ensure that members of marginalized communities receive the same protection and respect as everyone else.

I am running with No Party Preference to serve every person in Whatcom County.

“People deserve a Prosecutor’s Office they can trust. One that makes fair, consistent decisions and explains them clearly. As prosecutor, I will lead with integrity, protect our community and be accountable to the people I serve.”
